The Rat:  Thanks, Hunter position updated on the map.

That doesn't look like a Mirage to me- maybe an F-6?  I see several in the area, though not in a spot that looks like that.  Do you have the coordinates?

You're right, looks a bit 'off' to be a mirage.  Coordinates are 24.782485, 67.134907

Just found the Mirage: 24.781869, 67.137034

That is a Mirage V https://historyofpia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25988

The other is most likely to be a Shenyang F-6 with that wing sweep and pointed wing ends. It is parked near the Pakistan Air Force training school.

Korangi looks to be a nice location too - Golf club, Yacht Club, Model Flying cllub, Riding school, Water Park.

I was thinking it looks like a Swift...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Just south of Calvia in Mallorca are a pair of British jets on somebody's ranch, parked next to his helicopter pad. As you do.

Not sure that it was all that comfy when Dad passed through there in 1945.  ;D

I got a good one for y'all.

A library with an OH-58D Kiowa mounted outside! https://maps.app.goo.gl/A2Qzt43VgrsHYU3c8
Biltmore Road, Easley SC

US Army Captain Kimberley Hampton was the first US military female aviator to be shot down and killed in action. Her home town of Easley in South Carolina has honoured her memory by naming their library after her and placing an OH-58 on display outside.
